Maybe you should go one level up than your manager.
- etiam 7y agoSounds like an excellent idea. And probably bring several concrete examples of the issues.
- ytNumbers 7y agoSince the person who has an issue here is the new junior developer, complaining to upper management that someone "doesn't understand logic" seems like a terrible idea to me. Such an action could make this new junior employee look like he/she is the real problem here.
- codingdave 7y agoDepends on your organization. Sometimes it works, sometimes it backfires completely, as both levels of management get frustrated with you. My favorite anecdote surrounding that is when a team member was highly frustrated, and send an email to our boss' boss (the CIO), explaining the frustration. The CIO forwarded it right back to our boss with a three word response: "Fix your employee." I'm not saying he was the greatest CIO ever, but it does show that the results might not be what you expect or desire.
